ESO Necromancer Builds
In The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO), you are never tied to just one role. Any class, any race, and any role – the choice is always yours! Unlike many MMOs, ESO allows every class to take on the mantle of healer, DPS, or tank, giving you the freedom to play your way.
This page is dedicated to the ESO Necromancer builds you’ll need for every situation. Whether you want devastating Necromancer DPS builds that command the dead, resilient Necromancer tank builds that use bone and shadow for unmatched survivability, or resourceful Necromancer healer builds that restore allies with the power of corpses and spirits, you’ll find them all here. Each build is carefully designed to maximize the dark potential of the Necromancer, one of the most powerful and versatile classes in The Elder Scrolls Online.
